Crepis szechuanica (1934), Hieracium runcinatifolium (1935), and Youngia scaposa (1937) are all replacement names for the illegitimate later homonym C. scaposa C. C. Chang. The earliest legitimate name for the species is C. szechuanica, and the correct name in Youngia must therefore be Y. szechuanica. The taxonomic placement of the species in Youngia, however, needs confirmation.
